Roots of the 1969 Woodstock Festival: The Backstory to “Woodstock”

Explains definitively and for the first time why the festival was named Woodstock and why it continues to be so closely associated with the town even though the concert actually occurred in Bethel, NY. Catskill Mountain Region Guide called this book “a fascinating read: there’s an interesting story on every page, and it is a must-have for anyone interested in the Woodstock Festival, the history of Woodstock, or the counter cultural movement in the United States.” Foreword by Bob Fass, host of WBAI’s Radio Unnameable.
